oh what a long morning this morning.. I had an appointment with a lawyer.. we are only at the evidence gathering phaze, but its shaping up to be a nice little thing :)

Yes.. you have to suffer through yet another mother post..

aren't you so glad.

I don't answer my phone. In fact i rarely if ever talk on the phone but that's a whole different story.. My mother just called. Remember the post where I said she backed out of the family christmas? well she just called and left a message saying that she had our "names for christmas". WTF?!!? If she's not doing the family christmas what is she doing with names?? and since I told my aunt we were abstaining too, what on earth does she have OUR names for???

Is it too late to pack up and move some where remote?

sometimes I really love my bible verse of the day email..

My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in
the name of the Lord, as an example of
suffering and patience.

Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You
have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen
the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is
very compassionate and merciful.

James 5:10-11

yea! this week's homework is done!! whoo hoo!! maybe this week I can actually get around to finishing up my scrapbooking of the photos I took of my foster kittens.

Its 5:30 and I still haven't had anything to eat today. Im really not all that hungry either. which is VERY strange. My stomach growled a little bit, but I don't have that empty pit feeling. I had a little water, and it quieted down.

I just had a couple of bible thumpers (not a derogitory term in my book just so you know) come to my door. They were older, say 50's.. slightly younger than my mom I would say.. nice looking women.. Two of them. Im still in my jammies and not feeling all that well.. they were really nice about the whole thing saying they didn't want to bother me if I was sick, and actually offered if there was anything they could do for me. I thought that was sweet, but refused.. but sitting down here, listening to the kittens make a mess of the kitten room, I really should have asked if they wouldn't mind cleaning up after them for me.. lol.. I wouldn't.. but I wish someone other than me would do that right now..

I am beyond grumpy at the moment.. grrrrrrrrr grump grump grump. Don't really know why. Im a little annoyed at the kittens, but I don't think that's it. The speech went mostly ok.. so that's not really it I don't think. I think its cheese withdrawals..

well faced with day #7 of scrambled egg whites for breakfast, I decided to weigh myself a day early to see if I lost any weight, figuring if I didn't I was going to have something yummy.. but .. tada.. I lost 13 lbs.. go figure.. I am REALLY hating this diet though.. but as someone I once knew used to say.. nothing tastes as good as thin feels. (how many times do I have to say that before I believe it??)

my website is archived, the business website is updated, the speech has been reworked.. hey.. its been a pretty productive evening so far

well then.. My kittenblog is back up.. might have been a glitch in the move to the new hosting company.. it happens... But I am still ticked that I had no notification. I doubt they will ever notify me of anything as I don't believe my domain mail is working either.. cause my old hosting company email is now toast (along with their website) I should probably archive the site somewhere incase the decide to rip it down.. oh that's not going to be fun. I also need to update my official business website thingie.. and memorize my speech, and do my spreadsheet homework, and eat more food, and feed the kittens and eat more food, and feed the kittens, :)

well this is not good. I just went to update my kittenblog, and my hosting company has been changed with out notification!! not only that, but its not working.. Im ticked! Im probably going to have to start paying for it.. which means I will need to find a new hosting company

the weirdest thing happened this morning. I was dreaming I was on the beach, and there were massive waves that came higher and higher up on the beach and it washed away a number of balls, including my exercise ball.. when my husband woke me up offering me some water, cause apparently at some point I said very clearly, "no, I'll just have some water - with a straw" four o clock in the morning, he actually got me some water..

Im currently 'covered' in kittens.. jack is behind me, scooter is on the arm chair, and bugsy is cuddled in half on me half in the arm of the chair.. looks quite uncomfortable.. but he's a kitten. Looks like bugsy is going to come live with us.. hubby keeps saying he can't let him go. Im seriously considering scooter too.. shes soft, she's sweet, and she's bunny girl.. :) feels like a bunny, runs like a bunny..

I made salsa today with a red and yellow pepper, a hot pepper, half of a spanish onion, and a tomato. Its not my first choice of taste, but its not bad.and salt and oil free so its a great chicken topping. Since I am eating a lot of chicken right now.. its a good thing ;)

was supposed to go out with doug and sara tonight, but sara decided she was going to visit her aunt (hubby's sister) in MA so she couldn't make it.. We had these plans for a week or more.. Im not very happy with this.. Personally, I couldn't imagine anything that had to be done that couldn't have been put off for a day or so since I had plans with friends that were made a week ago. and since everyone involved was family, I wouldn't imagine the aunt would say it HAS to be done today.. grrr.. there might have been a valid reason.. but frankly this isn't the first time they have canceled on us so instead, we are having a lazy kitten type evening movies, blankes, kittens.. :)

me? on a diet? how could you tell??

"How To Recondition Your Body For a Toxic Diet"

1. Slowly begin to reintroduce harmful foods.
Suggestions are potato chips, pizza with extra
cheese, white bread, milk, coffee or coke, milk
shakes from edible oil products, fried chicken,
french fries deep fried in beef fat, eggs from
chemically-raised chickens, steak with barbecue
sauce and a small portion of overcooked vegetables.
Throw in a couple of chocolate bars to insure an
optimum toxin level.

2. Eat very few raw fruits and vegetables. If you
must eat vegetables, make sure the life has been
cooked out of them. The best fruits are canned
and preserved in sugar syrup.

3. Give your juice machine away. Drink bottled or
canned juices with brominated vegetable oils.
Canned vegetable juice is fine because all the
enzymes have been destroyed through pasteurization.

4. Swallow food whole. Use butter as a lubricant.
Deep fried foods will require less chewing.

5. Eat as much as you possibly can at one sitting.
This conditions the muscles that support the
stomach to expand, accommodating an increased
volume of food.

6. Avoid fiber at all cost. If forced to eat whole
wheat flour, pick the bits of bran from the bread.
This will allow the food to pass more slowly
through the intestine so the body may absorb
optimal toxic chemicals.

7. Do not exercise. Exercise oxygenates the cells
and triggers the lymphatic system that cleans the
body. Try to remain in an inactive horizontal position.

8. Snack regularly during the night so as to curb
the body's natural tendencies to detoxify during
sleep.

the sunroom is done.. but we want to do a little before we move in there so right now its just a big empty room. the sun warmed it right up today, so I opened the door to it..I couldn't get any of the cats in there.. not even offering turkey.. I left the door open.. and eventually they found their way into the room.. but if you make the slightest noise out they run..

I just finished taking an aptituted test for one of the jobs I applied for (yes.. the insurance one) and I have to say it was really kind of offensive.. three of the questions..

• most of our social problems would be solved if we could somehow get rid of the immoral crooked and feeble minded people.
• most people don't realize how much our lives are controlled by plots hatched in secrete places
  
• most people really don't give a "damn" for other people
  

Ok.. that second one is just funny.. but still..

ugh.. I am so sick this morning.. Im also sick and tired of making scrabbled eggs for breakfast.. but that's really all Im allowed unless I want chicken, turkey or fish.. this (*&(^^%& diet.. It better be working is all I have to say about it. Although eating a lot of chicken and green veggies isn't so much the problem as prepairing it all. Im a grab and go kinda girl.. all this food prep is wearing me right out.

My interviews went ok. Both jobs actually sound kinda interesting. Id probably rather have the receptionist job due to the more varied tasks, but that one might get old after a while. The other was for my insurance agency. They are going paperless, so they need someone to enter in old records into the system and hopefully train as an insurance agent.. hum.. me.. an insurance agent.. I still can't really see that.. plus I wouldn't be able to wear jeans (ok, neither one of these is a jeans and tshirt kind of job major minus.. Its been YEARS since Ive had to dress up for work.. but as I remember I didn't much like it.

Happy Birthday MJ!!

as many of you know.. I consider myself to be retired from the working world.. I am currently sending out resumes to keep an eye on the job market for a job that i would love and other reasons. Im doing my best to make myself quite unappealing to those jobs I feel i have to send a resume out to... using cheep paper, writing the address in sloppy, sending them out late in the week..

and yet.. they are still calling me to set up interviews!! why is that?? oh yea.. cause I'm awesome :)

"I have a new philosophy. I am only going to dread one day at
a time." - Charlie Brown

arrrgh.. more fall out from the infamous christmas trip! I just got an email from my aunt. Every year my father's immediate family (aka my extended family on his side) gets together for christmas and does a gift swap. We pick names out of a hat and each person gets a present for the name they got. This started many years ago and had a price limit of ~5$. Well some people stick to that limit so some people get really crappy gifts. My father has been on the short end of that for a while now. Not to mention that one summer everyone agreed to go up to my sister's place (a two hour drive) but a few weeks before the party one family said they didn't want to go so instead of saying have a nice day they moved the party locally (which is quite a long drive for some of us anyway) So this whole party thing has been kinda out of favor by my immediate family.

My mother.. in her infamous way... told my aunt that she wasn't going to be in town for the party and to not put their names in the hat. My aunt offered to post pone the party but (see above) my mom declined. NOW my aunt is writing to me to see if my hubby and I want to be in the hat.. I want to say no (see above) but I don't really know how. *grumble grumble grumble*



On another note.. the sun room is going up.. the men are making loud obnoxious noises that are freaking out the cats. Not badly.. just occasionally. I just realized a few moments ago that Em's litterbox is right near where the men are working There is another one down stairs in the cellar.. but I doubt she'll use it.. so now the question becomes.. do I move the litter and risk freaking out her 'routine'.. or do I leave it and make her "hold it"..

ugh.. so much to do.. so little motivation to do any of it.. well.. I at least have to go feed the kittens.. and take a shower.. Im quite "goo-ie"

my life has been full of feeding kittens and cleaning sick kittens and kitten stuff.. its been a little overwhelming the past few days.. so I haven't done much of anything else. Got some plans for next weekend though.. a local pumpkin festivel with my parents and sister's family (why am I dreading this? oh yea.. that infamous christmas trip) and plans to go see ghost ship with doug and sarah..

Im starting a new diet tomorrow.. Im not looking forward to it as there isn't a whole lot of variety in it, and there is no bread or pasta and no cheese.. eeeek.. what am I thinking?? no cheese?!?! and for some reason pumpkin is a carbohydrate.. so very limited pumpkin.. but I can have all the asparagus and broccoli I want ..

I tried to take a shower this afternoon to get the kitten goop off me... but the minute I got in the shower the hot water ran out.. so I didn't get to wash my hair.. will have to save that for after the morning feeding tomorrow. Got a class tomorrow too.. should probably read the assigned chapters.. and work on my spreadsheet homework too.. and do some scrapbooking and some other things.. hopefully all this will keep my mind off the lack of cheese in my diet *grin*

I watched the news last night.. a dangerous past time I know.. but there usually is something comment worth on, even if I dont remember it by the time I get to my computer.. but not last night. I was watching the boston station and there was a woman who was at her wits end when it came to her son not doing his homework. she created a cardboard sign that said "I don't do my homework - honk if you think this is an appropriate punishment" and told him if he didn't do his homework she would have him hold the sign outside for 30 minutes.. well guess what.. he didn't do his homework.. so she made him stand outside with the sign. a woman in a mini van with three kids stopped and told the mother that this - the sign thing - was child abuse and called the police.. SAY WHAT!!! making your child stand on the side of the road is child abuse? yea.. right.. ok.. and the fact that the woman who called the police was smoking.. that's not a problem? *rolls eyes* I have to applaud the woman for coming up with a creative way to get her son to tow the line, and to sticking to her guns when he didn't. 30 minutes outside isn't going to kill the kid.. - unlike the smoking which will probably give her kids asthma.. the parents of the boy wouldn't go on camera.. which is too bad.. cause I would so applaud them in person.. I suppose I can understand why they wouldn't.. there are obviously a LOT of crack pots out there..

like.. the moron who told the police he saw the sniper in washington.. and it turned out he was lying.. MAN I hope they arrest his butt and throw him in jail.. People are dying dude... the LAST thing you want to do is to waste the police's time on false leads.. and your petty need to be 'famous' is just so not worth it!!

btw.. the kid with the sign said he learned his lesson and is going to do his homework now..

have I mentioned lately what a frickin pain in my @$$ my mother is?? no.. well let me rant on cause its what I do best..

I stopped by the house this afternoon to see my dad. I haven't seem my parents since.. um.. probably when they gave me the quilt.. anyway.. I stayed too long visiting my dad, and my mom walked in the door.. we talked about what a crappy day she had handing out the laptops to the seventh grade students (we're in Maine and she works at a middle school) and my father brought up the fact that I have kittens again.. we talked about fostering. My mom suggested that the foster families should have get togethers to get to know each other and what not.. then she suggested that doing so would introduce me to someone who could take care of Emerald while "we go to montreal".. have I told you this story? Im sure I have.. Mom wants to go away for christmas, but the people we had to take care of em got pregnant and is due around the same time. she suggested we have them do it anyway.. suggested we leave em with food and with out insulin, or with out food and insulin.. (she's diabetic, almost 12 yrs old and has a heart murmur) .. anyway.. I told her we couldn't go. She suggested we make the reservation anyway cause we could cancel later on. I told her that was pointless cause we couldn't go.. but she refuses to accept that. Anyway.. I point blank told her I wasn't going.. and I thought that was that.. until today. She said that my sister still wants to go.. so she wants to go.. so they made reservations and told me I could cancel them .. yup.. you guessed it up to two days before hand "with out having to pay".. she is still suggesting I leave emmy with out supervision, and drive up to montreal (a five hour drive minimum) for the day then turn around and go home.. She obviously doesn't care about my feelings on the matter one iota - even at one point suggested she might be lucky enough to have em die before we go.. . So again and again this afternoon I told her I would NOT risk my cats life for a trip to montreal.. it was not worth it to me. she refused to hear it and suggested I contact the vet to see if it was ok to leave her.. GIVE ME A FRIGGEN BREAK WOMAN!! she knows what diabetics are.. she knows the risks.. she is so freakin self absorbed it isn't funny. Finally my father jumped in and told her to drop it.

So I left, and came home.. called the hubster to rant to let go so I didn't kavetch about it all night.. and what did I do.. Locked myself out of the house.. how lame am i?? first time ive ever done that .. well.. since Ive had my own place anyway.. happened a couple of times when I was in school.. but I was young.. so it doesn't count. so I called him back (cause I took the phone outside to get the mail while I was ranting) and had him come rescue me. *seriously considers putting a house key in my car*

the night just went down the drain (ok.. maybe it was a couple of hours ago and I haven't had the heart to post here. ) *points to kitty blog*

update to format.. See.. over there on the right.. instead of archives it now says kitty blog.. cause.. I created a kitty blog. (with me so far?) I figured I was overwhelming this one with my kitty stories.. One of the reasons I did this (which is explained in the blog) is sitting on my lap :)

Ok.. non kitty stuff.. ugh.. what a day.. i had to wake up WAY too early to make sure the kitties were fed before I got out of the house for my job interview. I was running around like a fool when the phone rang. I was so hoping that it was the interview calling to cancel.. but nooo.. it was the sun room people wanting to schedual work to start the sunroom. I was like you can so start yesterday.. and she asked if today was ok.. and I asked if I needed to be there cause I was on my way out the door, and she said no (is this sounding like a school girl conversation yet?) anyway.. at the moment the guy is out there putting on new pilings. He keeps leaving.. I have no idea where he's going. I have like 10 empty bags of cement out there too.. no idea where the cement is.. oh well. I guess its not important that I know.. is it?

I ran down to the shelter with the kitty and was told it was pnemonia.. I asked them to keep them while I went on my interview, so I ran down to the place.. and got lost cause I missed the driveway.. called info and they had no clue, plus my battery cut out.. so I had to call he hubby and get the number so I could call them and find out where to go. He gives me the fax number.. so I call him back.. get the number, call the place, find out im about 10 feet away.. *rolls eyes* anyway.. so I get there, and the woman said she had called to reschedual!! isn't that just the freakin way?!! I laughed and told her I wish she had gotten in touch with me.. and she offered to cancel anyway.. and I said no way.. Im already here. So I had to wait about an hour before they were ready for me.. then the woman proceeds to ask me 100 more times if I wouldn't mind the commute.. (its about 45 minutes) she asked me 100 times during the phone interview. This has been a theme in my life lately.. People asking me a question.. I answer it.. then they turn around and ask me again. ATT recently sent me a credit card and they keep asking me if I have balances to transfer.. they ask.. I say no.. they say are you sure? maybe a gas card or some other credit card.. now excuse me.. I think I would know if I want to transfer balances.. I said no.. DROP IT!! I feel like calling them JUST to tell them I have no balances to transfer cause damn it.. I know what I want..

driving home I ran into a little construction.. this is another pet peeve of mine. Some one standing around with a slow/stop sign pointing which way to go to you and you are the 100th car in line.. gee.. I wonder if I should go left when EVERYONE else is going right.. hum.. decisions decisions.. oh wait.. this person is pointing right.. oh.. ok.. Or.. when they are waving you on come forward faster when they have a slow sign in their hand.. slow down jestures I can understand.. but hurry up?? ya know.. I think if I want to go slower through construction I should be able to. so :P

I had to drive though ogunquit to get to my interview. I really need to go through there one day when I can shop.. do some christmas shopping. Hum.. wonder if I should do a dear santa page? I can NEVER remember things that i saw that I like when people ask me..

looks like bugsy is on the mend.. went to the food on his own this morning.. :) the kittens woke me up with their screaming.. guess mom totally isn't feeding them.. I think its cause she'd rather focus on the older ones.. sigh.. not happy about that one..

A while back I bought an embosing tool cause I found one I liked that was cheep. the other day I bought some more supplies to emboss and now I can't find the tool.. typical me.. although all the chaos in this house with the kittens isn't helping. Im thinking Im just going to go out today and get a new one (cause I feel the need to go to Sears today to get some batteries cause they are on sale and I figure while Im out I'll get some meat baby food for busy and maybe do a little more christmas shopping)

Im watching the today show... there was a guy who surfed the internet to find someone who looked like him so he could kill him and convince people he had commited suicide.. how sick is that?

well.. bugsy is quite sick.. :( I felt the need to rush him to the shelter this morning, he's all fur and bones.. I washed his butt off last night, and his eye watered, like he was crying. I figured with the pumpkin and the new food, hed be as good as new in the morning, but I think he was actually worse, if that was possible. Both eyes are weeping.. it really does look like he's crying, and he is quite dehydrated.. so I have a ton of medicine to give him, and if need be I can force food and water into him to get him going.

We attempted "solid" foods on the kittens.. that did NOT go over well.. they are so clueless.. but Im sure its cause mom doesn't pay an ounce of attention to them. I set up the webcam on my laptop to watch and see if she bothers to care for them at all.. so far, I haven't seen it happen... but I had to run out right after I set it up, and when I got home I couldn't stand listening to them scream so we tried the food thing.

To wean kittens, they suggest you mix solid food with water to make a gruel. well all it was was a gruel pond to step in and then bat your sister around with.. it was a MESS.. I didn't mind so much as they were quite a mess to begin with.. but I don't think one drop made it in anyone's mouth, and if it did, they don't have a CLUE as to how it got there.. hopefully in a few more days we can try this again with better success. I don't know why they regressed, they were able to lap out of a bowl.. but I guess since they haven't had one for a week now, they are confused. *Im watching them as I type this.. on the webcam.. and MAN they are cute* But hey.. I force fed them the gruelie messy stuff and they loved it.. so that's a start... I also don't know which is cuter, them with or with out teeth.. yup.. the teeth came in a few days ago.. and i must say they are walking a lot better than they did even just a few days ago.. LOL.. all there is on the screen at the moment is a kitten foot.. too funny..

well feeding and washing six kittens and cleaning up after nine of them is exhausting.. I think I'll go work on that nap Ive been trying to take for two weeks now.. :)

well I went out and got my hair cut.. three inches off the back and you know who didn't notice a thing.. men.. *rolls eyes* ok.. so it looks pretty much the same, just shorter and a little bouncier.. but still..

the chick who cut my hair was short.. not that I have anything against short people.. some of my best friends through the years have been short.. but in order for her to wash my hair properly her boob rested on my cheek.. not my idea of a fun time.. she also had a tendancy to hit the sprayer on the side of the sink so the water sprayed on to my face.. if I were one to wear makeup I think I would have been quite annoyed, but it did feel good. Im not 100% pleased with the cut.. but I never am.

Went shopping afterwards.. got a few more christmas gifts picked up. I have a few I need to send to canada.. should probably do that soon as the shipping there is a little dicy at the moment.. taking forever.. ugh..

the house is a sty.. need to organize it. I think im going to move the kittens upstairs into the other kitten room.. Im thinking of starting a kitten blog, for kitten stories.. :) the joys and horrors of 14 cats in the house.. lol.. would love some cool kitten graphic for it.. will have to look for it over the weekend. or sometime next week.. oh the joys of not having a job ;)

well its been about a week now.. hasn't it.. bad blogger.. bad bad.. Oh well.. you'll just have to forgive me.. :)

Lets see.. Ive been really kinda out of it lately.. haven't been sleeping all that well for one reason or another. Im sure the kittens are a big part of it. I went down to feed the mom this morning and one of them wasn't moving.. didn't that just stop my heart. after a few seconds that seemed like an eternity her leg shook five screaming kittens around her, and she's sleeping like a log.. of course I had to wake her up and make sure she was ok.. and she was.. but .. well you know.

I don't know if I mentioned I was interviewing for a position in town for an internet B2B payment company. GREAT pay, really good benifits, a decent job.. something that would make me come out of retirement.. but I just got a call today letting me know that they restructurized, so they wont be needing me after all. Half of me is totally bummed. I had already started spending my paycheck. the other half is glad I wont have to get up early and drive in snow etc. I have another interview on tuesday.. for a software company in york.. ugh.. that's a drive I would not look forward to, but hey.. if the job's right.. I'll deal.

My photos came back.. Im so horrible at getting film developed.. I have pictures of my old car which I took a year ago.. The rest are of the fosters.. I plan to scrapbook this weekend.. it should be fun..hopefully.

Looks like we are going to do thanksgiving at our house this year.. anyone want to come? hopefully the sunroom will be on and it will be a warm day so we can use it.. will make the day a lot more enjoyable.

I need to get to the mall today. I have GOT to get my hair cut.. its driving me insane. Need to pick something up for a friend of mine as well... but for some reason Im really not in the mood to go shopping.. sigh. *chants* money isn't everything... money isn't everything... money isn't everything */chant* .oO(yes.. but just about everything costs money)

SOMETIMES...


Sometimes...
when you cry,
no one sees your tears.

Sometimes...
when you are in pain,
no one sees your hurt.

Sometimes...
when you are worried,
no one sees your stress.

Sometimes...
when you are happy,
no one sees your smile.

Ok.. well I think there are a few facts I need to catch you up on.
pretty sure you know..
I had the set of six 2wk old kittens.. one got an puss filled eye.. took her into the shelter and she's ok.. just needed ointment.

Well that thursday I got another four kittens and a mom. Mom only had two of the kittens, two others were surragates.. she had tons of milk, she was almost looking like a cow she was so full, so I suggested I switched moms.. and the shelter agreed.. so thursday night I did that.. Mom#2 took to kittens#1 which I couldn't be more pleased about.. however mom#1 (shu-shu) did NOT take to kittens#2.. so we switched the whole friggen house around so I could put kittens#1 and mom#2 downstairs, and kittens#2 in the ferret cage and mom#1 loose in the room (which was ok with her).. I was afraid I was going to have to take her back on friday, but since she was fine, I waited till this morning.. however this wasn't the best choice since my test was this morning and she decided she didn't want to spend the entire night alone, and at 2am and 4am she decided to scream very loudly. Now no one in my house meows like that unless there is an emergancy, so Im out of bed like a shot, stumbling around looking for a hurt cat, with out my glasses, which is not a good thing.. when I hear the howl coming out of the kitten room, so I figure she's hurt in there.. I walk in and she looks up at me saying 'pat me pat me' ugh. So I picked her up, put her on the couch, turned around and left.. at four am she was howling even louder and longer, so I gave up went in there and sat on the couch and told her what a good thing it was she was going to the shelter in the morning, and how totally annoying she was.. :)

alarm went off at 7:45.. check on kittens, check email get ready, go to class.. (the class is mostly internet, so this is only the second time Ive gone in) get there, sitting on hands so as not to bite the nails since my foster kittens are going up for adoption.. during the break I told my prof that I had to leave asap (cause she wanted to hand something out to us afterwards) so she was nice enough to give me the first copy of the test. I finished it way too quickly, so I went over my answers, packed up my stuff and ran out the door. I seriously considered leaving shu-shu at home so I wouldn't miss anyone before they were adopted, but I didn't want to make another trip, and after last night, I certianly didn't want to leave her home, so I called home to have her packed up so I could get in and out asap.. I reached home at 11 when the shelter opens, and its about a half an hour to the shelter. When I got there I ran into Taz.. *waves to taz* we chatted, and we chatted with a few other people who were adopting my kittens.. everyone I talked to is (are?) going to give them great homes.. I couldn't have been more pleased. They were all adopted by 1:30.. all 9 of them! I missed jenna and otis.. *sniff sniff* but charlie and diane and robert all went to the same home Im soooo glad that charlie went home with a sibling.. and I couldn't have been happier at the woman who took him home they spoil their cats senceless, and their daughter used to volunteer in the shelter in NJ.. Eddie went home to a really nice woman who's going to keep him indoors, Molly went to a home to "replace" a cat who died while being spade and being declawed.. apparently she looked exactly like the lost kitten. So the woman swore she wasn't going to do that again, and was going to spoil her rotten!! and again be an indoor kitty.. frank went home with a family who thought he was drew, so he'll probably be called drew, but that's ok. they too were going to be an indoor kitty family.. I didn't stop smiling till I got home and had to deal with the kittens here.. lol.. K1 were way too hungry.. k2 had some how escaped the cage.. (I sooo need to post some photos of them, one of them is so cute its EVIL.. one looks like isabel but with black on her back, and one looks almost like a mini otis.. and they are sooo sweet.. ugh.. i think im on kitten overload.. )

I seriously hope I get some good sleep tonight. I haven't slept though the night now for about a week.. and for some reason I haven't taken a nap all week.

its late.. I have a test in the morning, and I can't sleep... Yea.. Im a little hyped up about the test, but im also very sad about tomorrow too.. .its when domino charlie, eddie, jenna, molly, and rocky go up for adoption, and the end of any possiblity of them coming to live with me full time.. *sob* I can't keep them, but it so doesn't mean I don't want to.. at least domino is going to someone I know.. I can't tell you how much I wish dom and charlie were staying together, but ...

sigh..

this not sleeping thing.. not good.. Im so going to flunk my test tomorrow over this..

ok.. this is cute.. jack looks like he's trying to drink out of a straw.. there is an empty glass with a straw on the floor for some reason (don't ask.. I really don't know.. I didn't put it there) Jack likes playing with straws.. :)

*sends emotional hugs out to the kittens and hopes to pieces I get there before they are gone... although.. would that be better or worse?*

btw.. ignore the post below this one.. I was trying to do something cute, and it so didn't work, and since I forgot to close a tag, I can't remove the entry
